Xref comes to wrong location

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 05:59:29 GMT

Hello!

I have a problem - sometimes when I load a xref into a drawing, it comes to wrong location. In both files "base" is "0,0,0" and insertion point is "0,0,0".

Sometimes it helps to close all AutoCAD processes and restart AutoCAD, but this time it does not help.

Does anyone else have this problem and how to solve this?

I tried searching the forum, but I found only solutions with "base" command.

BASE is the Basepoint for a DWG, when this File import as Block or Xref into another File.

Base should be set to 0,0,0 in the Xref-File
In Target DWG Insert to 0,0,0, if you want the same Place, set ucs to World ucs, then attach the XREF.

Problems with that? Post both DWG

I will upload "File" and "Xref". In the "File" dwg there is a blue box, that shows the area where xref should be inserted. I deleted everything else from these files - I only need xref to be located in that blue box.

All other xrefs I had were in correct location, this file is the only one I have problems with (right now).

Works fine,

in XREF.dwg and FILE.dwg the Main geometric show

between

Befehl: id
Punkt angeben: X = -10072.5 Y = 108967.8 Z = 0.0
and
Befehl: id
Punkt angeben: X = 29515.0 Y = 127637.9 Z = 0.0

Yes, I found that xref file was made so that xrefs in that file had been inserted into random location. Because of that in xref file everything seemed to be OK but when I inserted that xref, it was in "wrong" location.
